Enter Inspector Duval is a low budget 1961 British crime film directed by Max Varnel and starring Anton Diffring, Diane Hart and Mark Singleton. [1]
It was based on a story by Jacques Monteux. [2]
French policeman Inspector Duval is brought to London to help his British colleagues crack a case. The investigation concerns the murder of a socialite during a jewel theft. However, it turns out Inspector Duval has ulterior motives.
Monthly Film Bulletin said "Apart from the opening burglary and murder and the final pursuit, this is a sluggish detective thriller. The development is static and wordy, while the twist ending is enough to make an addict of genuine crime fiction tear his hair. Direction and performance are barely adequate." [3]
Leslie Halliwell said: "Dim mystery with no hope of becoming a series." [4]
